Happy Presidents Day to you!

FYI - Builder’s Remedy - explained below -  is going to impact Saratoga!This is what I had been talking about during Saratoga's housing element progression in 2021 and 2022.Here are examples locally

#BuildersRemedy This Los Altos Hills homeowner wants to build a 20-unit housing Complex on His Property. Sasha Zbrozek wants to tear down his home on two acres in Los Altos Hills on Summit Wood Road and replace it with 15 apartments and five townhomes.

#BuildersRemedy A Bay Area developer wants to build a six-story, 85-unit housing project on just half an acre in Mountain View..seeking to use builder's remedy as an opportunity to skirt around local zoning.

• Google Builder’s Remedy to see the news articles that have been written up just this year.

Such projects are ultimately coming to Saratoga too. It is a matter of time.

BUILDER’s REMEDY  (from here)

BE ALSO ADVISED THAT The RHNA numbers have been set up for Saratoga to fail: Should we follow the herd based on an ill-conceived Sacramento push that is turning over the state to land-developers. There is no way Saratoga will have built the required 1700 housing units in 8 years, when we barely built 200 in the last 8 years. We will fail the housing element test at the midpoint i.e 2026. What then? The land-developers swoop in - armed with the SB-35 legislation - to claim any and all properties circumventing city council jurisdiction. We ain’t seen nothing yet.
